Olivia Newton-John looks to lasso a buyer for 12-acre horse ranch

Olivia Newton-John is hoping to hightail it out of California’s Santa Ynez Valley, where her 12-acre horse ranch of four years is on the market for $5.4 million.

Tucked into a private enclave on the Santa Ynez River, the scenic estate makes the most of its space. There’s a contemporary-vibe home built in 2008, a two-bedroom guesthouse, a four-car garage, a swimming pool and equestrian features such as a barn, stable, riding arena and pastures.

Wood accents touch up the main residence, lining the sky-lighted ceilings in the great room, the windows in the gourmet kitchen and the walls in the sunroom. Other highlights include an office and game room.

The master suite, set under vaulted ceilings, expands to a lounge and a bathroom with a free-standing tub. It’s one of four bedrooms and five bathrooms in 4,452 square feet.

Outside, a cabana with a kitchen adjoins the swimming pool surrounded by lawns.

Newton-John, a four-time Grammy winner, has been recording music since the ’70s and is one of the bestselling artists of all time. As an actress, she’s best known for her role in 1978’s “Grease,” and her other credits include “Two of a Kind” and “Xanadu.”
